"He takes food and health care from the neediest and tries to, in his words, traumatize people

8. The big lie covering their bigotry and contempt...

Has always been that they had something better than Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, ACA, and other aspects of the security net.

If they did, why not just implement it? Why the need to tear down what was there first? Simply replace it.

Of course, the truth was that they never had anything else. They can’t stand to see something working that they can’t control and don’t directly profit from.

This goes far deeper than Trump. He’s only the means. This is the Republicans and their plan since Nixon and before.

Tearing down the East Wing without even a concept of an idea of what to replace it with is a metaphor for the entire Republican philosophy.
